Jurgen Klopp reveals he lets Jordan Henderson and other Liverpool players have the last word before matches as he does not believe his English is good enough for the final moments before kick off

Jurgen Klopp has revealed he lets senior players headed by Jordan Henderson make the final address to Liverpool’s players before matches - because he doesn’t feel his own English is good enough to rouse the troops.

Though Klopp is regarded as one of the best communicators in football, the 54-year-old German thinks the final moments before kick off require something different.

‘I run meetings during the week and stuff like that but the pep talk before the game, Milly (James Milner), Hendo and some others like Robbo (Andy Robertson) are more vocal in the last few minutes,’ he explains.
